This was nearly opaque, dark brooding, and still a baby; Pretty powerful, still a good dose of oak showing, slightly sweet compared to the Heitz Martha's, well put together for sure but somewhat over-extracted and oaky for my taste. Went well with the steak. Musso & Franks Eric B-day.

The cork failed but the wine passed with flying colors. Dark purple, viscous, full bodied cab with lovely aromas of tobacco and vanilla, big cherry, blackberry, and cassis flavors, decadent long finish. A friend baked savory chocolate sourdough bread, which we ate with cheese and sipped this wine. Divine

Beat the '91 Heitz: Heavily extracted with dark purple fruit, unintegrated oak with a huge dose of vanilla on the nose. Absolutely zero finesse in this wine. 8/8.

Decanted but did not need much time to open. Ready to drink, has reached a plateau.
